Craft Los Angeles

Absolutely delicious. I've been to the Craft in NYC as well, and I would highly recommend both of these Craft locations! … More

The food here looks incredible! Every dish arrived at my table looking spectacular. To start, I had an off menu octopus special and the hamachi. The octopus was one of the best I've ever had, not slimy or chewy at all. It was grilled to perfection with a beautiful char and exquisite flavor. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. Alongside it I had the fish which was light and fresh in a tasty jalepeno ponzu sauce. For main courses I had the duck breast and lamb chop.  The dishes looked fantastic, especially the lamb chop. However, these were extremely small portions. The lamb was all of four bites and the duck was four small slices, not to mention dry as well. I was definitely wanting for more with the main courses. The sides however made up for the tiny protein servings. I had the crispy potatoes and the "Hen of the wild," a plate of oyster mushrooms. The potatoes were the star of the dinner. They were a hit - hot, crispy on the outside, soft inside and bursting with flavor. Th

Overall, I had hoped for a higher quality for this price. For six people, we spent $850 in total. Not likely to return. Very friendly servers provided excellent service. The restaurant had a really nice, upscale look and feel. However, I found the entrees to be fairly average (guess that's where I went into the restaurant with too high of expectations). The tomato sauce on the sea bass or salmon I had was very basic; I couldn't taste the chef's effort. I was not at all surprised by it. The salmon also did. For an adult to feel satisfied, the portion was far too small. Desserts were better; they tasted great and looked amazing. Nothing to be upset about. I'm sorry, but I loved the two cakes in the photos.
